Dear Soccer Team
Representative:
The Virginia Legacy Soccer Club cordially invites your team to participate in the Ninth Annual Jamestown Cup Memorial Day Tournament in Williamsburg, Virginia.
The tournament's primary goal is to provide an outstanding competitive venue for about 100 teams that will participate in our tournament. Division I level teams will be sought for the Premier Divisions with Division II and developing teams for the other divisions.
This year we have expanded our tournament to include divisions in both boys and girls ages U10 to U16.
Again this year each participant in the Jamestown Cup will be given a free ticket to attend a Virginia Legacy PDL game. The Virginia Legacy is the Virginia Legacy Soccer Club's entry in the Premier Developmental League. Last year's team was third in the Mid-Atlantic Division, and have posted a 27-6-4 record at home!
Williamsburg, one of America's premier vacation destinations featuring Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Jamestown Settlement, Water Country USA and Yorktown, is an ideal location for an exciting weekend of competitive soccer and leisure activity. We hope you'll join us for this annual tournament.
